The Role...

You'll lead a dynamic commercial team and play a key role in the successful delivery of some of our most exciting projects in the South.

• Supporting and developing a team of Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Administrators

• Shaping and implementing commercial strategies to drive performance and profitability

• Overseeing contract negotiations and securing commercially favourable terms
• Leading cost value reconciliation processes and effective cash flow management
• Resolving complex contractual matters, including claims and disputes
• Ensuring subcontractor agreements are commercially sound and aligned with business objectives

You are an experienced commercial professional with a strong background in commercial management within the utilities sector. You will have significant leadership experience, with a proven ability to manage, mentor, and develop high-performing commercial teams.

You will bring a deep understanding of NEC3 contracts, particularly Options A and C, supported by strong financial and commercial acumen. You will be confident managing project profitability and risk, with excellent analytical, negotiation, planning, and problem-solving skills.

Additionally, you will be a clear and confident communicator, capable of presenting complex commercial information to stakeholders at all levels. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, you will be resourceful, resilient, and able to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a strategic focus and strong attention to detail.
